Update
I've been hard at work on Second Nature, the next book in my His Chance series. If you've read Second Act, the first book in the spinoff series, then you know this upcoming book belongs to Riley and Gabriel.
They've been an absolute joy to write! Despite the fact that they both have a lot of darkness in their past, it's a sweet, gentle love story. I've been quarantined since early March, since several members of my family in high risk groups and really can't get Covid-19. With all that added stress and worry, what I really want to write (and read and watch) right now are positive, low-angst stories that let me escape reality for a few hours, so that's where this story is going.
I love the fact that the characters from my work in progress are in San Francisco right now, and I'm going to be bringing in some characters from my Firsts and Forever series. That always feels like a homecoming to me. We'll be checking in with Sawyer and Alastair from Worlds Away, and Zachary and TJ from Who I Used to Be because they fit perfectly into the story. I conducted a survey in my Facebook readers' group and asked who else they'd like to see, and Christian and Shea from Against the Wall won so they'll be a part of this book as well.
As far as an estimated release date, Second Nature will either be out in late July or early August. I'll post with a better estimate when I get closer to the end of the first draft.
Stay safe and be well, friends!

Second Act is LIVE!!
After 8 days stuck in limbo, Second Act is finally live on Amazon! This age gap, opposites attract romance begins my new His Chance Series, which is set in the same world as my Firsts and Forever and Castaways series. You don’t need to be familiar with any of those books to enjoy this one, but long-time readers will recognize some familiar characters in supporting roles.
Here’s the blurb:
After pursuing my big break in Hollywood for more than a decade, I’ve finally landed the role of a lifetime. The only downside--it happened just as sweet, gorgeous Lorenzo and I were taking the first tentative steps from friendship to so much more. Our brand-new relationship barely had a chance to get off the ground, and now the pressures of my new-found success are coming at us from every angle.
Can I really have it all? Or will chasing fame and fortune end up costing me the man of my dreams?
The ebook is for sale on Amazon and available on Kindle Unlimited, and the paperback will go live in just a few days. Here are the US and international links:

UK
Canada
Australia
Germany
Italy

France

Mexico

Coming Soon
Second Act was uploaded to Amazon on April 28th, and now it's just a waiting game to see when it goes live. I'll post the link here as soon as it's available.
Follow-up:
It's now April 30th and the book is still listed as "in review" on my Amazon page. There's no way of knowing when Amazon will actually get to it, so all we can do is wait and hope it won't be much longer.
Follow-up #2:
It's May 3rd now, and the book is still showing as "in review" on my Amazon page. I contacted Amazon customer service, but they don't have an answer on how long it'll be before it goes live. I'll post an update as soon as I have some news.
Here's the blurb while we wait:

Cover Reveal
My work in progress is called Second Act, and it'll be out in late April (exact date to be announced).
Here's an early look at the cover, which is by designer Angsty G. This book begins a series set in the Firsts and Forever/Castaways universe. That's Will on the cover, who we met in Keeping Secrets. Each book is written as a stand-alone, but longtime readers will recognize some familiar characters in supporting roles.

Checking In
Apologies for slacking on my blog lately!
I've been in lockdown with my teenager for over four weeks now, but I'm adapting to this new normal and have been working on a book called Second Act. This is Will and Lorenzo's story. They're two characters we met briefly in The Castaways Series.
Will is around 30, and he's Beck's friend from Keeping Secrets. He's been trying to launch his acting career for a decade, and is ready to give up at the start of the story.
Lorenzo is around 40, and he's a widowed veterinarian who's not sure if he's ready to move on. He's Ren's friend, and we met him in Starting Over.
These two just sort of gravitated together, and they jumped the line in terms of all the stories I'm planning to write. :) I love their sweetness, and the fact that this is a very gentle, low-angst love story. It's what I need to be writing in these uncertain times, and I hope it'll bring you happiness when reading it.
The book should be out at the end of April, and I plan to have a cover reveal for you in just a couple of weeks if everything goes to plan.
Until then, please take care and stay healthy.

If you're not already receiving my newsletter, you can sign up here. I'm anticipating sending it out on Sunday, February 9th.
